Bill Clinton made much more money as honorary chancellor of Laureate International Universities than Donald Trump made from Trump University, sources say. While Trump won’t reveal exactly how much he earned, I’m told it’s less than the $16.5 million Clinton was paid over five years for lending his name to the Laureate network.

The former president’s involvement may have helped groups associated with Laureate’s founder and chairman Douglas Becker obtain $55 million from the State Department and another $150 million from the International Finance Corp., a member of the World Bank.

“Clinton was getting nearly $4 million a year, for what?” an insider in the for-profit education industry said. “It’s protection money. While every other for-profit school was getting bashed on Capitol Hill, Laureate got a pass.”

Trump is fighting a $40 million fraud suit by NY State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman — despite positive evaluation reports from a majority of its students — because his company wasn’t a “real” university, and only offered weekend seminars.

“Why [is the media] going after Trump and not going after Laureate?” a Trump associate said. “It’s a scam.”

A competitor in for-profit education who was in Libya to make a deal there was turned down by an official who explained, “‘Laureate can get visas for Libyan students to come to the US.’ I had to admit, ‘I can’t do that.’”

Becker — whose investors include Henry Kravis, George Soros and Steven Cohen — is a big backer of the Clinton Global Initiative.
